Most Iranians are grappling with poverty in the new year. Instead of helping people, the regime\u2019s president Hassan Rouhani made contradictory remarks in recent days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cAs we enter Nowruz 1400, not only is there no point of hope, but the expected inflation torments us. In all these years, people have always struggled with difficulties, and the [regime] has only praised them for resisting. Officials now face this question, that when would people have their share of peace and comfort? How long do people have to walk through hundreds of shops to buy oil? Really, how long do people have to stand in long queues for hours so that maybe it will be their turn to get poultry, not at a reasonable price, but at a price several times higher than the price they bought a month ago? How long is the people\u2019s share of [the so-called] resistance supposed to be skyrocketing prices and empty tables? How long should salaries be below the poverty line?\u201d <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pishkhan.com\/news\/219003\/\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> the state-run Tejarat daily on Thursday about the regime\u2019s inaction and people\u2019s crisis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">While people face skyrocketing prices, rising inflation, and scarcity of basic needs such as poultry, Rouhani claimed, \u201cSome abuses and propaganda caused a shortage of goods and ultimately shock the price increase.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"How the mullahs destroyed Iran&amp;#039;s economy\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_PbI6JJpaE7A\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FPbI6JJpaE7A%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PbI6JJpaE7A\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M44S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2019-03-06T22:21:55Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_PbI6JJpaE7A\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FPbI6JJpaE7A%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">How the mullahs destroyed Iran&#039;s economy<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PbI6JJpaE7A\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FPbI6JJpaE7A%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"How the mullahs destroyed Iran&amp;#039;s economy\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"40 years after Iran\u2019s 1979 revolution, the ruling mullahs have taken the country back to the Middle Ages. Iran has large natural resources and the potential to improve the lives of all Iranians. In addition, Iran owns 7% of mines of the world, the largest hydrocarbon sources (Oil and Gas) in the world, 9.3% of the world\u2019s oil and 18% of the world\u2019s gas, and Iran itself has more natural sources than the entire EU area. But Iran is ruled by a dictatorship that spends all its wealth in terrorism and suppression. The fact is that Iran is ruled by a corrupt government that has looted Iranian people\u2019s property to extend its rule. Iran under mullahs ranked 93rd in the world in health care, in welfare, Iranian people are ranked 108 out of 149 countries and the Iranian regime is on the top of the list of countries suffering from state-run money laundering and this is one of the reasons that the Iranian regime is ranked 138 in the world in corruption and also among top countries with high inflation rates Iranian workers\u2019 monthly salary is less than &#36;100 and Iran is the only country that uses all its renewable water resources and is being pushed toward an irreversible water crisis by the government. Moreover, Iran has some of the most dangerous roads in the world and is among the top countries in road fatalities. The mismanagement of Iran&#039;s economy has led to mass dissatisfaction and protests. The people of Iran believe they deserve better. In the past year, Iranian people have taken to the streets to reclaim their country and destiny.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">State-run media and officials from Rouhani\u2019s faction rejected this bogus claim. \u201cWhat Rouhani was saying was a kind of speech therapy. It was so artificial that even those around him did not believe it, let alone the people. For example, saying that next year we will no longer have the problem of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/statement-human-rights\/iran-coronavirus-death-toll-in-522-cities-exceeds-235100\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Covid-19 outbreak<\/a> and that our economy will be back on its feet was like a joke. His entourage did not even believe him, let alone the people. Rouhani talks about the economy and in such a way that one thinks there are two societies; one that is in the real world and the other that is in the minds of Mr. Rouhani and his colleagues,\u201d wrote the state-run Arman daily on March 18.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cLong queues [for purchasing basic needs such as poultry], skyrocketing prices and shortages of food items in the market and a few hundred percent increases in fruit prices are just some of what happened to Iranian families last year. While we are reaching the end of [the Persian] year, important economic indicators such as liquidity, inflation, and economic growth do not show promising figures. Despite the positive economic growth rate of 2.2%, the inflation and liquidity rate, by the end of February this year, have been 34.2 percent and 3300 thousand billion tomans, respectively. This could be a warning sign of rising inflation next year,\u201d <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pishkhan.com\/news\/219011\/\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> the state-run Etemad daily on Thursday about Iran\u2019s dire economic situation.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On Thursday, the state-run Arman published an interview with Amanollah Qaraie-Moghadam, one of the regime\u2019s experts, further confirming the baselessness of Rouhani\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cThe set of past and present events makes it possible to make an approximate prediction of the events and conditions of the people in 1400. Due to what happened in the last year, inflation and the skyrocketing prices removed the middle class. Now we only have the rich and poor classes in society. Some people spend 200 million tomans per meter for their homes, and others spend the night on rooftops. If inflation moves in the same direction, the poor class will also disappear. Before the Covid-19 outbreak, there was unemployment in our society, and there is no doubt that in 1400, the number of unemployed will increase. Unemployment brings with it all sorts of problems for society and causes significant growth of social harms,\u201d Qaraie-Moghadam said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">He later warned the regime\u2019s officials that \u201cSocial dissatisfaction will increase next year. As I look, I do not see a good outlook for next year. Next year we will face an increase in all kinds of social ills and turmoil in society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Thus, it becomes clear while despite seeing Iran\u2019s dire economic conditions and people\u2019s suffering, Rouhani resorts to speech therapy and refuses to address those problems. Rouhani and other regime officials know that all of the Iranian people\u2019s problems are due to the regime\u2019s wrong policies and economic mismanagement. Nevertheless, to quell the restive society, they resort to lies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday marked the beginning of the year 1400 on the Persian Calendar.
